Apparently this inspired Albini to explore the rest of Cribshitter's sick-minded, prankish, but strangely well-crafted pop discography. Cribshitter got an email from Albini on Friday morning and forwarded it to us. It's legit—it comes from an Electrical Audio email address, and even comes from the IP address of the hotel where the conference is taking place. And a playlist from Thursday night shows that WORT did indeed play the song around 8:25 p.m. The email reads, in part:

...the radio went to fuzz so I dialed around and stumbled on your magnificent version of the song "Cocaine" on WORT. I kept listening in hope the announcer would tell me who you were. I made my way to your bandcamp and have cried real tears of laughter over your music. You are Einstein-level geniuses and you should never quit.

I love your band.

Steve Albini, people. Having thoughts about bands and saying them in emails. Right here in our town.
